    Heady Clone BIAB...too high OG

    So I tried out the AG Heady clone kit from NB, but used the BIAB method. The recipe called to hit 1.070. To me that's a little low for a IIPA. The kit was for 6 gal. So, I only made a 5.5 gal batch, hoping to slightly increase abv. Well, it worked, but too much. Was hoping for around 1.080...
